The client

Since launching in 2016 they’ve been voted one of the top UK 100 startups two years in a row, as well as having created long lasting relationships with florists across all of the UK and US.

They’re looking to give florists the tools to create and deliver bouquets to their communities. They have developed a product that provides inventory management, a wholesale shop and even website builders and POS systems. It is the first vertically integrated SaaS for this area of the market.

The role

In this role you’d primarily be working on the website generator, which is a key component of their product. You’d be building websites from within the CMS, ready for launch. This would be with a variety of different JavaScript related tools, including TypeScript, React and Gatsby.

• Collaborate with the multi disciplinary team to deliver innovative products
• Design, develop, deploy and maintain responsive web solutions
• Work closely with the designers to ensure the finest user experience, with close attention to every detail
• Build and maintain scalable applications
• Ensure best practices, standards and tooling are used
• Be in an environment that encourages learning new technologies and supports your career progression
• Use the feedback of other team members to progress as an engineer. Transparency and mutual support are key to the success of any engineering team, we review and discuss code openly. Approaching technical challenges as a group, always striving to help each other develop and learn from one another’s mistakes

 

Ideally, you’ll have the following experience:

• You are adaptable, resourceful and able to develop effective solutions to problems
• You are passionate about quality of code and quality of user experience
• You have at least 3 years professional experience (this experience level is a guide, all we care about is your skills and drive)
• You have built a web application using React and enjoy using modern web technologies
• You enjoy discussing technical problems as a team and collaborating on a solution
• You believe you have good communication skills, with which you can explain technical issues to team members of all technical levels

The candidate

These guys are very early on in the development of their product so there is a real opportunity for you to have input into how things are developed. They’re offering a salary of up to £70K (though have said they’ll go higher for the ideal person) as well as potential share options. They’ve got a great office and you’ll be joining a hungry, innovative team. You’ll also get a MacBook Pro and they’ve got lots of ideas for more perks in the future.
